  • Hello Mike, maybe you could answer me two question: #1 is it strictly active or is there also a passive mode? #2 what is the average battery life if only active?
    Thanks!

  • Bloody hell! That was a seriously comprehensive, not to say helpful review mate. Really fancying this Spector bass, and I was pleasantly surprised to see the other main bass on my shortlist (Player Jaguar) in the background!! Thanks very much for this.

  • Hey Mike, great video man! I'm seriously considering buying one of these puppies. I've seen in the comments that you ended replacing the original pickups with a Geezer Butler P/J kit. I'm serious about both the original jazz pickup and the GB one, is any one of the 2 noiseless? Also, how is the original p-bass pup, is the GB much better? I'm looking for a convincing p-bass sound with a balanced noiseless jazz pup for some extra definition when needed, do you think it is achievable with either the original pickups or the GB?

  • I was wondering if the Gotoh tuners are an exact replacement? Hole dia , etc. I would maybe change to black hardware later..Great review as I just ordered a Legand 4 STD,.. plus, if you changed to EMG geezer PUs , did you wire for 2 volumes so you could use 4 knobs etc? Any help there would be appreciated. Great review. Need more like this review. Thank you. Robert

  • What about this bass with the Geezer pickups + the black beauties strings? I want to start slaying some fuzz tone riffs.

  • Thanks for the video! I have a Spector 2000/5, which are also made in Korea (I think that Legend is). Same thing, dumpy electronics but great build otherwise. Mine now has EMG pickups and the K Haz pre and it sounds killer!

  • something that I have about my spector (even the american made Forte has the same issue) is the battery access

  • Good breakdown , I'm a Spector bass guy I love my old q4 pro which is between a legend and the performer series (ive upgraded most of it only thing factory on it is the emg hz soap bar pick ups it had the emg bts 2 band which is a awesome pre amp but I add a gotoh 18 volt box and a darkglass tone capsule 3 band) it now has a hipshot db7 extender on it. Love it as much as my late 2019 euro 5 lt violet burst (Sweetwater exclusive) and my 2007 Rebop dlx ex(zebrawood) with a emg bqc 3 band pre amp.

  • Thanks this vid helped a lot. I wonder if you looked at 3 more legend basses if they would have the same build quality as this one. Trying to get away from using Squiers but I don't have $2,500 for a pro level Spector lol

  • Excellent review…As for electronics, first thing I'd do is upgrade to Emg's anyway, so it's not a big downfall for me personally..Very intrigued by these and have been contemplating one..this thorough review is excellent..thanks for putting this out there

  • As long as Stu Spector is running the show, you'll not get crap from any of their products. I just bought the new Legend 6 classic at retail because it's worth it.
